According to the Independent, the former Apprentice star, 42, posted the tweet early on Tuesday morning but soon deleted - however, not before offended followers had screen captured it (Image: sunny_hundal/Twitter)

One outraged user, @Sunny_Handal, shared the image while commenting on how "vile" the whole tweet was.

And comedian Dom Jolly also shared a snap of it, tweeting: "Katie Hopkins tweeted, then quickly deleted this - how is this woman allowed to exist?"

Katie - who also presents a Sunday morning talk show on LBC radio - appeared to be making a dig at the Black Lives Matter movement, which has its origins in the USA, where many have campaigned against violence and racism.

Dear White People is a new series inspired by the 2008 film of the same name starring Tessa Thompson and Tyler James Williams and directed by Justin Simien.

It is an exclusive ten-part series made by streaming service Netflix - one episode of which has been directed by Moonlight's Barry Jenkins - and became available to watch last Friday.

Mirror Online has reached out to a representative of Katie for comment.
